@c_arseneau I never thought about the bulbs, but that could be a factor. Headaches seem to go away when I leave home. in reply to c_arseneau #

I hate it when hash tags don't tell me a thing about what they are talking about. WHAT is #dd09 – that is all I want to know??? #
@starzabove It all depends on your budget and what you like to photograph. Best kit lens replacement for EF-S bodies is the Sigma 17-50. in reply to starzabove #
@starzabove My first $$$ lens purchase was the Canon 10-22mm wide angle, but it doesn't work on full frame sensors. Great for my needs then. in reply to starzabove #
@BorrowLenses No, THANK YOU!!! You guys ROCK! in reply to BorrowLenses #
Thanks to @chimchim for clearing up the whole #dd09 thing. Although I do like @nadnuk & @craftygirly's suggestions of Doomsday 09.09.09! #
RT @chimchim #dd09 is the @capitalfactory Demo Day for the 5 startups in Austin http://www.capitalfactory.com #
@kevinswancom *applauding* I do think you're quite right. I've been saying it all along. #
@mzhummina I actually read #dd09 earlier and said, out loud, "FTW???" You would have laughed. It was excellent. in reply to mzhummina #
Just gave http://whollymatrimony.com a facelift. There are a few tweaks to be made here and there, but overall I'm happy with it! #

@adamnyholt 7-9 or later – just head on over when you get done with the shoot. Not like you have a long drive. in reply to adamnyholt #
@chipgillespie I actually snagged the one from Dane's blog. I credited you in the post, of course. Along with a few other @studio563 links! in reply to chipgillespie #
Wait. What? I can attach my twitter account to my Ravelry account? How did I not know this before now??? #
@duckunix when I saw your tweet, I wondered if you had seen @tasradawson's site (@rondawson & I talked about it today). Too funny! in reply to duckunix #

Back from Austin, Texas where I was for Dane Sander’s Fast Track Photographer Roadshow Workshop (Use the code “Christine_workshop_new” if you would like $75 off a future workshop). I love to travel, I really do — but I’m so glad August is officially over tomorrow! 4 days in New Orleans, 4 days in Las Vegas and 4 days in Austin all in one month have made it a bit craaaaaaaazy to say the least! But what an incredible, amazing month it has been. I have met so many AWESOME people and I’m looking forward to the road ahead!
I’m busy catching up on email and phone calls (if I owe you one, I promise you’ll hear from me soon), but meanwhile I thought I would share a tip from my friend Jennifer, aka the ScriptyGoddess. She wrote a post recently about using Shortcodes to make line breaks in HTML in WordPress. Definitely something worth checking out if you’re in to messing with code behind the scenes and have been wanting a way to make the tag work properly!
She also linked to these really helpful posts – Mastering WordPress Shortcodes and 10 Incredibly Cool WordPress Shortcodes — check them out!

Ok, enough fun and excitement around here - wedding rescued, plane tickets booked, room reservation set. Now it is time for lunch! #

I helped my friend Jennifer out this past wedding and was the second photographer at her client’s wedding. It rained, rained, rained through the ceremony, which was - of course - outdoors. Fortunately, it was outdoors under a covered area, at a venue that is prepared for this sort of thing and has plastic walls that they can put up on the sides when it rains to keep everyone dry. But it started raining so hard just before the bride was supposed to walk down the aisle that the crew had to stop and put up an additional plastic rain wall thing next to the walkway so she could pass. The ushers had to completely lift her dress over the puddles.
If only they had had a film crew like this one to run the day. It would have been perfect.
(In the end, the wedding went off smoothly, it was still quite lovely even with the rain, and we all stayed mostly dry. It was a great day!)
http://www.bigpinkcookie.com/2009/04/29/if-film-crews-ran-the-world/
We’ve been featured on Rock N Roll Bride! http://www.rocknrollbride.com/?p=8587 @sydmarie’s wedding, including TTVs by @cybertoad! SWEET! #
Feeling more icky today then I did yesterday. Awesome. Maybe it is swine flu after all? #
I know! Lets fly some airplanes low over Manhattan. Yeah. That would be a GREAT publicity stunt. … Idiots. http://tinyurl.com/dfcdxm #
Lots of streets flooded here by our house. Spring-Cypress & 249. The rain is still coming down hard. My dad has taken refuge out our house. #
Eeeeeeeee!!! @emmiegrn will be having a baby soon! So excited, can’t WAIT to see the little one! I just know she’ll be gorgeous!!! #
Two boudoir sessions proofed and uploaded tonight, wondering if I can get a third one finished tonight. I think I can, I think I can… #
Hardest part about proofing all these awesome boudoir sess’s? I can’t share them without permission, and have to wait until after weddings! #
http://www.bigpinkcookie.com/2009/04/28/tweets-for-2009-04-28/
I really hate it when I have a dream where I’m so upset at someone that I’m crying - and I wake up actually crying. #
So much fun being the second shooter at last night’s wedding for my Jennifer of Silver-Plate. Nice switch, I want to do that more often. #
Our poor client was stung on his big toe during our engagement session this evening! He was a trooper though and we kept going. #

If I can smash @wedpick together with @shootq, I would finally have a pricelist that would allow clients to pick options easily. Thinking. #
Getting things together to take to the sign maker so I can have the new sign done for the studio, along with vinyl for the windows. Whee! #
Sears Repair has seriously earned the FAIL on this situation: http://is.gd/sSg3 @shutterblog without an 18m old oven since 2/2. #searsfail #
zOMG. Got an email from a Roller Derby gal about booking a boudoir session, read her name & realized she was a college friend, 20 years ago! #
Houston peeps, be careful if driving. Flash flooding north of downtown with very heavy rain and low visibility. Nasty icky weather. #
Travel alert - Bad flooding on the feeder roads along I-45 North between 610 and Beltway. (Not tweeted while driving - thanks, @coffeemike!) #
Mother Nature tried to foil us, but I had an AWESOME boudoir session this morning, before the rain started to totally darken the sky! WHEE!! #

I’m at a crossroads in a decision, and the indecisive part of me can’t decide. I recently worked with Sara of Sadie Olive on redesigning the blog header for Christine Tremoulet. I love it. I’m thrilled with it. Thing is, we did a “stamped” effect on the logo (which I adore), and I’m trying to figure out if I should carry that effect over to my actual sign that I’m having made for the studio.
It is either that or go with my logo “as is” instead:
The logo colors would stay the same — I’m just trying to decide if I want it to have that slight texture effect.
Feedback? Thoughts? Ideas? Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp…

As women, we’ve all become too conditioned to not see ourselves as beautiful, and it is a sad thing. All of us - every single one - has a wealth of beauty. Most of us have just taught ourselves to ignore it and only pick on our own faults.
I have discovered an amazing power when I do boudoir photography sessions. I can make women see their true beauty. Almost every woman starts the session nervous, worried about her own personal flaws. By the end, after a lot of laughter and silliness (because every session is better with laughter!), every single client has told me how empowered she feels. How beautiful she feels. How excited she is about the previews I’ve shown her on the camera.
Many of my clients (but not all!) have done sessions originally as a gift for someone else. In the end, they all take away a gift for themselves too.
I think this would happen outside of boudoir sessions as well - I’ve been trying to encourage women to come in for an empowering portrait session even if they don’t want a boudoir session. Something to celebrate their beauty. Something to make them feel strong.
We are all way too hard on ourselves. Everyone IS beautiful.
Thank you to Katherine Center for the link to the video and the inspiration to write the post. I look forward to reading your book!
What do you find beautiful about yourself? (Hard question, isn’t it? It shouldn’t be that way.)

I missed the plain, simple white design of fabulousness by Derek Powazek. So I switched back. The other one was pretty and colorful, but this one just feels like a better gathering of all my web stuff in one place.
I’m going back to blogging here when I post photos on the wedding photography and the boudoir photography site as well.
Speaking of changes … have you seen Proposal 2.0? All about the schmoopy love, The Boy is proposing online to MommiePie. I discovered all of it thanks to The Bloggess.
Wait! Wait! Breaking news! In the time it took me to start writing this post, MommiePie *found* the proposal. Her response?
OH. MY. GOD.
I really should be leaving some hugely profound comment here, knowing this post will be recorded and kept forever, but all I can come up with is …
YES.
YES.
YES!!!
If I could get the letters any bigger I would! If there were audio, you’d hear me laughing.
If there were video, you’d see me smiling from ear to ear.
I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU Dave.
Yep. Soulmate.
Awwwwww…
I was going to link to what I posted when Mike & I got engaged — but I can’t find it online! I can’t believe I didn’t actually blog about it. I’m stunned! He took me back to Kavah Kane’s, where we first met thanks to an H-Town Blogs event that he organized, which I cancelled everything else to go to because Pixeldiva Ann had been asking me for at least a year while he lived in London and came back to Houston to visit if I had actually met him yet. (That might be the longest run-on sentence ever.) Anyways … he took me back to the place where we met on New Year’s Eve, after coordinating it all with Jason while I was at work that day. He got down on one knee, and said words I don’t remember but were really sweet and had to do with spending our lives together. I said yes. The rest is history!
Ah, sweet love…

I found this site the other day, and then forgot about it until I saw it in Pixeldiva’s “Things I Find Interesting” post. Then I realized, I should write more about it.
New Perspectives of the London Underground
These photographs amaze me. Something so simple, so everyday and common place probably for the photographer, captured so perfectly. I’ve been there - and looking at those photos takes me back to it all.
Looking through them makes me want to drop everything and go take amazing photographs.
What inspires you?
